Carnival Sunshine Cruise Ship Dining

This is a classic Carnival cruise line. Mixologists wear lab coats and create cocktails as prescriptions. They offer great cocktails and mixology classes that are worth attending. 

This Mexican buffet is open for breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snacks. Great for breakfast as they have arepas, huevos rancheros, and made-to-order breakfast burritos. The food is great until the afternoon, with freshly made tacos (chicken, fish, or pork) and burritos (beef, shrimp, chicken, or bean). Toppings include lime-infused rice and pico de gallo to beans and corn. Soft taco shells are made fresh, the food is delicious, and the lines are short, especially on port days.

This tequila bar is famous for its frozen and on-the-rock margaritas in many flavors. At this poolside spot, you can also get a beer (or a bucket full), beer cocktails, pitchers of margaritas or spiked lemonade, soft drinks, and virgin creations.

Bonsai Sushi has the best sushi you'll ever have at sea. Contemporary decor with bonsai trees makes you feel calm, and the atmosphere is cozy and chic. Affordable and delicious sushi and sashimi, rolls, sides, soups, sakes, Kirin beers, and desserts.

This Italian venue on deck 9 is open daily for lunch and dinner. Lunch is a casual meal with a pasta bar. Choose your pasta, sauce, and toppings, and they will make it fresh and bring it to your table. This is free. Dinner is a paid-for formal dinner, reservations only. They have fees per adult and child and offer all the Italian family favorites.

A dining experience to remember. Prime beef cuts cooked to perfection and premium seafood. It steaks out of this world. Filet Mignon, New York Strip, Cowboy Steak all 21-day dry aged.

The best burgers on board every day from 12–6 pm. A Carnival partnership with Food Network personality Guy Fieri. All burgers are grilled to perfection, with several toppings to choose from. Located near the pool with a surf shack look that's fun for all ages.

Jiji Asian Kitchen offers a full-service menu with a mix of exotic and familiar dishes to challenge and delight your senses. Asian prayer rolls and Mongolian-inspired fabrics infuse northern-country style. Reservations are recommended. 

The main buffet is located midship on deck 9 and is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily; hours vary. Carnival Deli at the back of the Marketplace is worth a visit for sandwiches and wraps from late morning to late night. Swirls is an ice cream and frozen yogurt stand open 24 hours. Lido Marketplace serves late-night snacks from 11:3 p.m. to 1 am.

Beautiful piano bar to grab a drink. If you like singalongs, pull up a stool, order your favorite cocktail, and let the piano player know what you want to hear.

This digital machine located in the Paris restaurant allows you to swipe your card and pour a pint of ice-cold Miller Light beer without waiting for a bartender.

RedFrog Pub is a laid-back Key West-style pub. Here, you can dominate at the foosball table, enjoy live music, and sip their private-label beer, ThirstyFrog Red. RedFrog Pub bites include coconut shrimp, grouper fingers, firecracker Jamaican wings, Bahamian conch salad, Caribbean sliders, Jamaican jerk, and pulled pork sandwiches.

With the Caribbean vibe of the RedFrog pub moving poolside with this rum bar, you can grab a drink anytime during the day and up to very late at night. Join the party and try their frog-approved Caribbean rum-based beverages by the glass or pitcher and Carnival's signature draft beer, ThirstyFrog Red.

This is the ultimate foodie experience. The evening starts with cocktails and appetizers, then a tour of the kitchen, and finally, an eight-course meal hosted by one of the ship's master chefs. Book early, as it sells out fast.

Forget what they say — the most important meal of the day is brunch. Slumberers can sleep in and still get breakfast, early risers get a head start on lunch, and Seaday Brunch brings everybody's favorite mid-morning meal to your Carnival cruise and does it right. You'll enjoy huevos rancheros, special French toast, loaded mac-n-cheese… and yes, more ways to cook eggs than we even thought was possible. Chow down and fuel up — you've got lots of ships to explore for the rest of the day.

Do you take your coffee straight up or with a twist? From straight up to sublime, nothing satisfies your coffee craving like JavaBlue™ Café, with fun twists on hot and cold drinks you love. While the coffee is the main event here, there's more to JavaBlue — enjoy the comfort snacks we like to call "baked goods,"… which you'll call "yum"!

Who said you can't always get what you want? Certainly not on a Carnival cruise. Chances are something from our steakhouse sounds good — filet mignon, New York Strip, lobster, or surf & turf — and you know what? Now, you can get those signature steakhouse dishes on your plate any time you're having dinner in our main dining room. Whether you're with friends, have the kids in tow, or just want something different in a familiar setting, you'll find great options on your dining room menu.

Looking for a taste of the old neighborhood? Load up at The Deli. Enjoy old-time favorites like hot pastrami on rye, grilled Reuben, or roasted turkey breast on a country roll. Our sandwiches and wraps are always hand-carved and served fresh with cole slaw or relish. Stop by, get your sandwich fix, and remember the kosher dill.

A few things make a great pasta dish: fresh ingredients, the right mix of spices and sauces… and, of course, al dente preparation. The care and expertise of a pasta pro takes it to the next level — and you'll find them at The Captain's Pasta Bar. Choose your pasta — linguine, farfalle, penne, anyone? — then select your sauce and meat, and they'll cook it up in the same Italian tradition we serve up nightly at Cucina del Capitano®. While you're lunching, take in the rustic Italian country home decor… there's nothing like ambiance to bring out the flavor in a dish.
